Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

Lin Yi looked solemn, and with both hands he gently hung Gardevoir's old, scratched Poké Ball around his waist.

He rubbed his fingers unconsciously twice, as if communicating with his new partner through the air. He planned to go to the Pokémon Center later to complete the formal procedures for this wonderful fate and register Gardevoir under his name.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw three girls gathered together, all with red eyes and tears in their eyes.

Su Su was particularly excited. Her eyes were swollen like ripe peaches, and the tip of her nose was red. She choked with sobs and sighed:

"How can Ms. Guangmei's past be so moving..."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face, wetting his clothes.

The girl with a ponytail at the side bit her lips so hard that they almost left bleeding marks. She clenched Xingzhu's hands with both hands, her knuckles turned white from the force, her body trembled slightly, and she tried her best to suppress her sobs.

Ruan Yaoyao caught a glimpse of Lin Yi, and it was as if she had found a safe haven. She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, buried her face deep in his eyes, and shrugged her shoulders. She cried in a muffled voice:

"It's so sad. How could Guangmei leave like this..."

Lin Yi raised his hand helplessly and lovingly, and gently rubbed Ruan Yaoyao's head with his slender fingers, and the soft hair slipped through his fingers.

He just opened his mouth, with the tip of his tongue against the back of his teeth, and was about to speak to comfort everyone, but the words he had organized were already circling around his lips.

"us……"

Before I could finish my words, suddenly——

“Waaaaaaaaaa—”

Ye Feng let out a thunderous cry, instantly making Lin Yi's words disappear, and a look of astonishment quickly spread across his face.

"No, Ye Feng, why are you crying?"

Lin Yi's face was filled with astonishment, and he stared at Ye Feng, who was crying with tears streaming down his face, with his eyes wide open.

Ye Feng wiped his tears with his hands. The tears flowed like a flood. He cried and sobbed as he said:

"Wow, I don't know what's going on. I just felt sad when I heard what Ms. Guangmei said. I suddenly missed my mom so much..."

She looked so aggrieved, completely devoid of her usual liveliness.

Su Su next to him frowned with a look of disgust, and took two small steps back, fearing that she would be affected by Ye Feng's "tear cannon".

Before Ye Feng could be calmed down, Xingzhu's eyes turned red as if he was infected.

“Waaaaaaaaaa—”

He also started to cry loudly, and his cry was even louder than Ye Feng's, making people's ears buzz.

Lin Yi was even more confused now, with several big question marks floating on his head. He turned to Xingzhu and said anxiously:

"No, Xingzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Xingzhu cried and sobbed, gasping for breath:

"Wow, wow, I...when I heard Ye Feng crying, I don't know why, I also missed my mother..."

"Ok?"

The girl with the ponytail was originally wiping tears silently with red eyes. After hearing this, she raised her head in confusion and stared at Xingzhu with her brows twisted into a knot:

"Wait, Xingzhu, that's not what you said before. Didn't you swear to me that you had no mother since you were a child and that your grandmother adopted you? When did you have a mother?"

Xingzhu's crying stopped abruptly, as if the pause button was pressed, and she blinked her eyes with tears still in them.

A few seconds later, she slapped her head as if she had suddenly realized something, and with tears still on her face, she grinned for a moment, but then she remembered something, pouted her lips, and started crying again:

"Yes, oh, how could I forget, I was adopted by my grandmother and I have never seen my biological mother... wuwuwu, yes... yes... I don't have a mother..."

The old lady watched from the side, her eyes slightly reddened. At this moment, she could no longer hold back, and stood up and slowly walked towards Xingzhu, her steps slightly staggering but eager.

When she got to him, she took him into her arms, patted him on the back, and coaxed him softly:

"Good boy, don't cry and hurt yourself. How about you be my child from now on? Auntie loves you."

Xingzhu's crying gradually weakened. He sniffed, raised his tear-stained face, looked at the aunt, nodded vigorously, and responded with a tearful voice:

"Okay, from now on you are my mother, Mom..."

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi stood aside, watching this dramatic scene, his face full of black lines, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he took a long time to utter a few ellipsis. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Why are they all so excited, like a powder keg that has been lit? Is it because I am too cold-blooded and too calm?

I'm just standing here like a nobody, feeling out of place.

How about I howl along with you?

At least try to be more sociable and not act like a weirdo...but howling like that isn't my style either.

As he was struggling, his eyes accidentally swept across Ye Feng, and Lin Yi's brows were instantly twisted into a knot.

Something was wrong. Ruan Yaoyao and the other girls were very thoughtful and emotional. It was understandable that they couldn't help but shed tears when they heard about Ms. Guangmei's tragic and heroic past.

But how could Ye Feng and Xing Zhu, two rough guys, cry so hard and be heartbroken?

Especially Ye Feng, he was his best friend who had grown up with him, peeing in the mud and wearing open-crotch pants. He knew his temper very well.

Although he is a warm-hearted person on weekdays, he is stubborn and tough in nature and is not someone who cries easily.

As for the story of Ms. Guang Mei, yes, one would definitely be moved, and feel respect and emotion after hearing it, but it wouldn't be to the point of crying and sobbing like a lost soul, like a drowned dog, right?

Look at him, his face full of tear marks, he was gasping for breath, his shoulders were shaking like sieves, it didn't look like he was trying to be funny to liven up the atmosphere, it was obvious that he was truly sad to the extreme.

Lin Yi watched from the side, his eyes unconsciously turned red and his nose felt sore. The sadness seemed to be contagious and went straight into his heart.

Wait! Emotions are getting really heated?

It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and in an instant, an idea popped up.

He was extremely anxious. He took a step forward, grabbed Ruan Yaoyao's arm, and asked very quickly:

"Yaoyao, when you came to see me before, did you see a man wearing sunglasses wandering around?"

"The man with sunglasses?"

Ruan Yaoyao was stunned by this sudden question, her eyes were full of confusion, she tilted her head and thought about it carefully, and said with a puzzled look on her face:

"What is this guy with sunglasses? I don't have any impression of him. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Lin Yi's face darkened, he pursed his lips, slowly took two steps back, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hands in a calm manner:

"It's okay, I guess I was wrong. You guys continue chatting. I'll go out for a while and get some fresh air."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone's response, he turned around and left in a hurry, his steps quick and he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

……

"boom!"

A loud bang exploded in the quiet forest, scaring the Bobos away.

The disheveled man in sunglasses rushed left and right, shuttling around in the dense forest, and the dead branches and leaves under his feet made a crunching sound.

His face was filled with fear, and he would glance back hurriedly from time to time. His eyes looked as if a ferocious beast that could swallow the sky and the earth was chasing him closely, and he would be torn to pieces if he slacked off even a little.

His partner, Heart Bat, was also in a miserable state at the moment, flying crookedly and with difficulty beside him. His originally shiny wings looked as if they had been severely ravaged by a storm, with blood still oozing from the wounds. It was obvious that he had suffered severe injuries, and at the moment he did not even have the strength left to flap his wings.

Seeing this, the man in sunglasses was extremely anxious and helpless. He had to hurriedly take out the Poké Ball and take the Heart Bat back.

But this brief pause seemed to give the god of death an opportunity to take advantage.

"boom!"
